Hi Steemit! I have a question about getting a cat....

The best advice I can give you is less about the breed of cat and more about the age and gender, it will be less likely that your dogs will see a small kitten as a territorial threat than a full grown cat.

That being said, some dogs are so prey driven, that even though they may not ever mean to hurt your cat- a new kitten can grow up feeling incredibly territorially insecure themselves being constantly chased around and harassed even if your dogs just want to play.

I think a lot of the way things will turn out is based on how you introduce everyone, (slow is best, and at feeding time so everyone associates all the new smells with good things) and whether or not you have enough space where they can all feel safe and as though they have some ownership over where they live. Lots of vertical space for kitty to get away from the dogs where he or she can feel like shes got a good perspective of the whole shared living area.

Good luck! 👍🏻
